[FLINK-8538][table]Add a Kafka table source factory with JSON format support ## What is the purpose of the change This PR adds Kafka JSON table source factories for different Kafka versions. ## Brief change log - Adds a `Kafka` connector descriptor and a corresponding `KafkaValidator`. - Adds a `KafkaJsonTableSourceFactory` and different version specific implementations. - Adds a method to get the column numbers in `TableSchema`. - Adds `equals()` and `hashCode()` methods for `KafkaTableSource` and `KafkaJsonTableSource`. **Note:** the rowtime setting has not been implemented yet as I think a more friendly API to get the rowtime attributes should be provided in `DescriptorProperties`. ## Verifying this change This change can be verified by the tests added in `KafkaJsonTableFromDescriptorTestBase` and the other sub-classes. However, they are temporarily commented. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (**yes**) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (no) - The serializers: (no) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): no) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (no) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
